The provided document is an Operator's Manual for the New Holland Boomer™ 24 Compact Tractor. This manual serves as a comprehensive guide for owners and operators, detailing the proper adjustment, operation, and maintenance of the equipment to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Function Description

The New Holland Boomer™ 24 Compact Tractor is designed as a versatile agricultural machine capable of pulling, carrying, and powering a variety of mounted or towed equipment. Its primary function is to support various agricultural tasks, though its performance can be influenced by factors such as weather and terrain conditions. The tractor is equipped with a Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft, allowing it to drive compatible implements. It features a three-point linkage system for attaching equipment, as well as a drawbar hitch and hydraulic lift rocker for various operational needs. The hydrostatic transmission system facilitates smooth operation, and the machine includes controls for front-wheel drive, hydraulic power lift (HPL), and a drop rate control valve for precise implement management. Safety features, such as a seat belt and a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS), are integrated to protect the operator.

Usage Features

The manual emphasizes that the tractor should only be used for its intended purpose as outlined by the manufacturer. Operators must be familiar with the tractor and any mounted or towed equipment, adhering to all operational and safety practices. The manual covers various aspects of usage, including commissioning the unit, starting and stopping the engine, and moving the tractor.

Commissioning and Starting:

Engine Break-in Procedure: Specific instructions are provided for the initial break-in period of the engine to ensure its long-term health.
Power Take-Off (PTO) Operation: Detailed guidance on engaging and disengaging the PTO for powering implements.
Three-point Hitch and Drawbar Hitch: Instructions for attaching and detaching various three-point hitch equipment and using the drawbar hitch.
Key Switch: Standard procedure for starting the tractor using the key switch.
Cold Starting Aids: Information on using aids for starting the engine in cold weather conditions.
Jumper Cables: Procedures for starting the tractor with jumper cables in case of a dead battery.

Moving and Parking:

Steering Operation: Guidance on effective steering for maneuvering the tractor.
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) Operation: Instructions for operating the hydrostatic transmission, including specific considerations for low ambient temperatures.
Brake Controls: Proper use of the brake pedal and park brake for safe stopping and parking.

Road Transport:

External Lighting: Details on using headlights, work lights, turn signals, hazard warning lights, and brake lights for visibility and compliance during road transport.
Driving the Vehicle: General guidelines for driving the tractor on public roads.

Working Operations:

Tractor Ballasting: Information on ballasting the tractor, including the use of tractor ballasting weights and liquid ballast, to optimize stability and traction for different tasks.

Safety:

The manual stresses the importance of wearing the seat restraint system when operating the tractor, especially in situations with roll-over or tip-over hazards, as the ROPS is fully effective only when the driver remains attached to the seat.
Operators are warned against using the tractor beyond its limits of terrain gradient and stability, as well as avoiding high speeds, abrupt maneuvers, and fast cornering, which can increase the risk of roll-over.
It is crucial to keep bystanders away from the tractor during operation, particularly when maneuvering in confined areas or when using implements that may eject objects.
The manual explicitly prohibits allowing riders on the tractor or people standing on access ways or steps while the tractor is moving.
The tractor may be equipped with sensors to control safety functions; bypassing these functions is strictly prohibited due to serious hazards and unpredictable behavior.
Only approved accessories and attachments designed for the machine should be used, and unauthorized modifications are forbidden.
The engine and fuel system are designed to government emission standards, and tampering is strictly prohibited. Service and repairs must be performed by a certified technician.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides a detailed maintenance schedule to ensure the tractor's reliability and extend its lifespan. It categorizes maintenance tasks by frequency: every 10 hours (daily), after the first 50 hours, every 50 hours, every 100 hours, every 300 hours, every 600 hours, and every 1000 hours, as well as general maintenance.

Biodiesel Fuel Considerations: The manual provides specific guidelines for using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Biodiesel (Biodiesel Fuel). It notes that Biodiesel Fuel blends must comply with EN14214 Specification Standards or ASTM D6751, and operators should consult their dealer to confirm approved blends. Using unapproved fuels can lead to severe engine and fuel system damage and may void the warranty. Biodiesel Fuel may require more frequent changes of engine oil, engine oil filter, and fuel filter elements. It can also attract moisture and remove rust/particles from fuel storage tanks, potentially shortening filter life. Long storage periods with Biodiesel Fuel in the system are not recommended, and the engine should run on Diesel Fuel for 20 hours to flush the system before storage. Spills must be cleaned immediately to prevent environmental damage and paint finish damage.

Storage:

Storing the Tractor: Instructions for preparing the tractor for storage.
Removal of Tractor from Storage: Procedures for bringing the tractor back into operation after storage.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues related to the engine, hydraulic service brakes, hydraulic lift system, steering, hydrostatic transmission, and electrical system, providing guidance on identifying and resolving symptoms.

The overall scope of the manual covers normal operation and routine service, emphasizing that more complex periodical service, conversions, and repairs should be carried out by professional, trained personnel.
